Gia's List: 10 Anime Suggestions for Toonami
If Toonami were looking for new anime to put on TV, what would you suggest? Add your faves to this list in the comments! 2012-05-19

Kids on the Slope Episodes 1-6 Streaming
It may not be the most visually striking, but the breadth and depth of what it has to say makes up for that. And for anything too profound to be expressed in words, Kids on the Slope expresses through music.

Mysterious Girlfriend X episodes 1-6
A girl's drool seems to carry unusual properties in this offbeat story about developing teen romances. Those who can get by the disgusting premise will find a fun series featuring one of the most intriguingly weird of all girlfriend characters.

Sailor Moon GN 4
While the story still has its logical flaws, it remains an engaging read that holds up well despite the passing of years and this volume continues to keep up both the promise and nostalgia of Takeuchi's masterwork.

Pokemon Movie: Black Dub.DVD
Overall, neither Pokemon the Movie: Black or its White counterpart really stands out from the already packed herd. While not terrible, these are films that can be safely left alone unless you or your child have a compulsion to truly catch 'em all.

Medaka Box Episodes 1-6 Streaming
It turns out that the great NisiOisin/Gainax collaboration is just another mission-of-the-week comedy. Sad, that. And boring.

Hiiro no Kakera Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Hiiro no Kakera is by no means a terrible show...it just isn't a very good one, either. With a stilted script and a team of heroes who feel incompetent, not to mention cookie cutter characters who do little to make themselves endearing or unusual, it does nothing to elevate itself above the masses.

Bodacious Space Pirates Episodes 7-12 Streaming
Like the pirate she is, Marika is chasing space treasure this time around. At six episodes this arc is twice the size of any previous arc, but it fairly flies by. Not great, but darned fun.

Space Brothers Episodes 1-6 Streaming
As much a series about having dreams and struggling to fulfill them as it is about the wonder of space and the human urge to explore the unknown.

Ozma
A young man embarks on adventure when he saves a fleeing woman in this post-apocalyptic tale from the mind of Leiji Matsumoto. Despite strong production values, its lack of originality and time for proper development help prevent it from being memorable.

Guilty Crown Episodes 13-22 Streaming
Whatever else you think of it, Guilty Crown has guts. The whipsawing plot does things here that more timid shows wouldn't dare. Including, unfortunately, indulging the director's apparent hate of the human race.

Bleach GN 36
The break in continuity may be just what flagging readers need to regain interest in a series that drags at times, and the slight melancholy of the past may recharge waning emotions. Bleach is by no means perfect, but for the time being, it is still a series worth reading.
